Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tsp turmeric powder
- 1-inch piece fresh ginger, grated
- 1 can full-fat or light coconut milk
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- Pinch of cardamom
- 1–2 tbsp maple syrup or honey
- 1 cup water or milk
Instructions
- In a saucepan, whisk together turmeric powder, grated ginger, cinnamon, cardamom, and black pepper to distribute spices evenly.
- Pour in the coconut milk and water. Add sweetener if using, and whisk until smooth and spices are dissolved.
- Heat the mixture over medium-low heat until hot and steaming, stirring occasionally. Do not boil (approx. 5-7 minutes).
- Taste and adjust sweetness or spice levels as desired.
- Pour into a mug and garnish with a pinch of cinnamon. Serve warm.
Notes
Black pepper is crucial as it boosts turmeric absorption. Keep heat on medium-low to prevent burning the turmeric, which causes bitterness. Can be made in a microwave-safe mug for 1-2 minutes. Lasts up to 5 days in the fridge.
